As you might already know, the Samsung Galaxy Note7 is scheduled to go on sale in the US and Canada today (August 19). However, according to a new report, some of those who ordered the Blue Coral or Silver model may have to wait for a few (3-4) more weeks to get their hands on the device.

Quoting unnamed sources, the report notes that the South Korean company is overwhelmed by the number of pre-orders it has received for the handset, especially for the Blue Coral model. In a statement, Samsung Canada termed the situation as "unprecedented."

"We've experienced an unprecedented number of pre-orders and we're excited to begin fulfilling orders on August 19th," the subsidiary said. "Over the coming weeks, we'll work with our valued carrier and retail partners to provide wide-reaching national retail availability."
